Year 10 - So are insects the solution?

The Year 10 class currently working with Mr Allaway were presented with a huge amount of information - all upon the theme of using insect protein to feed livestock. The students had to ensure they understood each piece of information and then go through a process of categorising it, before exploring the links. They allowed each group of students to approach an answer to the question: 'Are insects the solution?' and a follow up question of 'What is the problem?'.

The process of using the hexagons (that can be seen in the photos below) helped to build knowledge and understanding as well as important synthesis skills.
